From July 22-28th, the Nasa indigenous people of Northern Cauca, Colombia, led a national mobilization to propose a transformation in the country's politics. Their proposals included national economic development instead of the US-Free Trade Agreement, a negotiated, political solution to the armed conflict instead of President Uribe's war policy, and a humanitarian agreement instead of impunity for the paramilitaries. These interviews with Manuel Rozental and Mauricio Dorado provide some of the character of the mobilization as well as some reflections on the implications of Prime Minister Harper'â¢s visit to Bogotá the week previous. Audio of both interviews as well as a transcription of the interview with Manuel are here: http://www.en-camino.org/node/87
